Enjoy a delightfully frightening, old-fashioned haunted house rising from the dead center of Old Town.
Legend has it that in 1886 this elaborate Victorian estate was constructed in the swamp for the Grimm family. This impressive residence housed the Grimm’s funeral business until, finally, in 1929, the family succumbed to their son’s growing insanity, the stock market crash, and their butler’s penchant for murder.
One hundred years after its construction, Old Town grew up around the old Grimm house and its terrifying reputation. Fearful of unleashing the home’s spirits if they tore the place down, the Old Town council decided in 1993 to open the house to the public with the warning that they would not be responsible for what might happen to anyone inside it’s 4,000 “scare” feet of winding corridors and wicked rooms. Fortunately, not one guest has been reported lost to the two-story, twenty-room house, although there have been some close calls.
